  • If all else fails theres petrol and a lighter

  • 6k can buy you alot of cars Lloydy.. where you going to get 6k from tho? surely you cant get that from an old mk1 octy even if it is mego low miles. thats mint s4 money! for this reason, i say you

Not the rack then? Are you running adapters/spacers for the wheels lloyd i would check that they havent cracked/ snapped

Something not done up properly?

Or could be one of the track rod inner balljoint as they would have had to swap them over to my rack, jack the car up and grab hold of the wheel either side and give it a wiggle see if theres any play

He double checked everything....

I'll try looking into tie rods too mate :(

Its just desided to start unlocking with the seat altea key again tonight too

So i think its reaches the end of the line with me ;(

Sad to say but its getting me down as hell and pi55ed off with it

Enoughs enough

I havent got the money time or patients to be dicked around by cars

A shame as its no doubt awesome

Unfortunatly tho...... I am not ;(

Sheeeeit man. That sucks a large one.

It was just the rack i had from trev

All track rods are mine

Its all getting abit much

And with this unlock thing

Its close to the end :(

I dont think its cheap to rip the clifford out and rule that out

Gotta get this knock sorted

Then ril alarm out and rule that out, if he stays i'll get a new alarm

But if i could get shot for good money i really do think its bye bye time :(

I just dunno what to do

Im out of money and on deep ****

Sub frame bushes can make noise and allsorts of wobbly sensations, coloum can be noisey as fook too

shame mate, really is, especially when all specialists say rack, when it obviously isnt.

wish i was closer dude, id have done all of this for you mate. Give it a nights sleep and and some cups of tea and it may seem a little better.

No hasty decisions

Cheers loft mate, appreciated none the less

I love my car but its just got too much :(

We need the second car more and more amd really cant keep it up

Gutted isnt the word :(

Changing the rack has really anoid something it seems

I dont beleve for 1 min both mine and trevs rack are broke

On a car that skoda direct told me theyve never heard of rack faults ???

:(

it is rare hence all the comments in the initial thread that we all recon it was something else. Probably need new subframe bolts and bushes or something from dryness and cracking, as wear and tear is highly unlikely.

You have a rack to sell that has only covered 16k though.

If you are at witts end there should be a queue of prospectives on here, eager to cash you up. Dont lose sleep over what is essentially metal, plastic and rubber

I got him new bolts

Im suspicious of the track rod that goes into the rack :(

I think i he needs a lil chunk of funds to get up to date

Its been a tough year for monies which hasnt helped

I need a sack of wonga and give my car to somewhere and say

"Fix it"

****e.

There is something not right in the steering dept tho. When he turns the wheel there is a judder thru it.

Real shame i dont have room mate. Not that youd let me have him a few days.

Now i know what you main my breaking thread.

Gutted.

Come on guys buy my stuff so i can bin the shell n sort lloyds out!

I know exactly how you feel I had this with my last Evo.

You keep thinking, just dig this bit deeper and everything will be fine, then it still isn't or something else lets you down, but you keep at it, because you have already gone so far, and spent so much.

There does come a point where enough is enough and you just have to draw a line and let go.

I just wish I found that point before I went mad with it lol.

i find it hard to believe that the lowest milage mk1 on the forum has a fecked rack. Deffo go for the second opinion Lloyd. Failing that, Trevs rack is uber cheap.

......

:doh:

Dont let it get you down lloydy. Cars can be a PITA.. its prob somthing simple like a fecked bush or loose bolt. If only you were closer mate :(
